I assume you have really looked into their claims and it sounds like they may be really following through. I know a few years ago they had the same claim as being "nut free" and that confused many people because they may have been peanut free but they were most certainly NOT tree nut free at the time. I do hope this is true as most bakerys use nuts.

Are you talking about the same bakery? It's possible there policy has changed over the years; they don't have peanuts or tree nuts (or traces) in their bakery now. Since February I have called twice and talked to the bakery staff again in person and everyone confirmed their statement. I called again this morning to verify again. I am ana to tree nuts, so this was my biggest concern. I was very pleased with their knowledge about allergies and felt comfortable with everything they said. And, most importantly, I haven't reacted to anything from there.

They have imported goods thay may contain nuts, but all are in pre-sealed factory packaging on a shelf separate from their open bakery items.

Hi spacecanada that is the bakery I am talking about but I have not been there in a very long time. I use to just buy cookies or other little things for my children and I did not even want to touch the debit machine with my fingers as they had many tree nuts. (butter horn pastery with almonds on it and pecan pies... ) at that time I had heard someone say they were nut free! I thought they may have been Peanut Free but not tree nut free thats for sure. I cannot say what they do now but as for the past I had lost trust in them because they use to put advertisements in the local paper that I found a little miss leading about the p/n-t/n not being a problem there. As far as bread or buns (not cookies, cakes, or pies) I like the local cobs. I have also found not all cobs are created equal. Some do use nuts. This location here had in previous years used nuts at Christmas but did not this past year. Not a good place if you have an allergy to seeds though.
p.s. don't think I am saying Grandin Bakery is not safe today. That is not the case, I am only saying they were not ok in the past.

Sorry if I've created a controversy; I didn't mean to. I live nearby and questioned them fairly thoroughly a few times this year. I'd love for someone else to call and report back with their findings. I apologise if I've made a mistake.

You haven't, this is the kind of issue we often get. Do you trust a company? Is their website up to date? It's like a bomb expert asking which wire do I cut? When we're talking about life threatening reactions, these are very real anxieties.

Is there someone else who can ask the question? I'm sure we have other members or lurkers who live in the area.

Oh spacecanada it would be me who put the wrench in the wheel. I was only questioning them from the past. They may be perfectly fine now. Since I did not trust them in years past I just wanted anyone who was going there now to be thorough with them. I only have enough time to quickly be on this site as I should be packing..... I would want to go in and not only call but I am sure spacecanada If you have been in you have a clear understanding of what they are all about now.

Walooet - KUB Bakery in Transcona is peanut/tree nut free (last time I checked) - except the german chocolate cake icing they make in one corner on a stove . . .
They have cookies, buns, bread, cinnamon bread and buns that are awesome. We buy it fresh directly from the bakery . . .Regent just east of Plessis.
